conee and LIS Effects.

New York his u doctor who has
busted himself l,;S.y writing pithy
articles ON soa.e Ui tae baptized evils
of society. Iii 80. manifesto is on
"How coffee e. vss people," and the
aim of the papev is u show that coffee
is one of the most powerful drugs in
the list of medicines. The proof of its
power as a drug is shown by the fact
that it is used to a greater extent than
any other as an antidote for poisons,
both animal and Vegetable.
He urges that ne does not desire to
reach the ear of the public in general,
but of those who have pains in the
region of the heart, oppressed breath
ing and an irregular pulse; those who
are exceedingly nervous and unable to
sleep at night; those who have a full
feeling, dizziness aud pains of a neural
gic character in The head; who have
nausea of the stomach without having
transgressed tie laws OF life; who have
pains in the liver, a yellow skin with
eyes of the same sort; and lastly, who
have hemorrhoids. If the doctor sup
poses he has left out one or the two of
all creation from lis list he may be
right, but he is certainly moving a
swath, and may honestly say he Is
after the ear @: the pnclic. To these
he offers ono suggestion. Omit coffee
for a time, throw pliysic to the dogs,
and find out if the trouble, after all,
is not in tie drug used as a beverage.
In moderate doses coffee raises the
blood pressure and accelerates the
heart. Now, says the doctor, heart
disease is in the main an easily pre-
vented disease, and Il is very frequently
due to the excessive use of coffee.
He enumerates several instances
where he had been called in to pre-.
scribe, and had found his patients
given up to die, but there was really
nothing the matter but the breakfast
drug. He wisely suggests that in thii
day of sudden deaths we are called
upon to review our methods of eatinl
and living in order to get at the caus
or causes. "The heart and brain re
quire rest as well as other organs 0
the body" If the vessels in the hea
are kept distended we have, as a warn
ing, dizziness and pain, and, if TIL
warnings are unheeded, apoplexy. s
with the heart. So short are its In
tervals of rest when beating at seventy
two to eighty-four, that we can hardl
conceive it. Add to this the stimuli
that sends it up to ninety, and W
must produce disease. lie conclude
that for our regular meals and
evening parties we should substitut
the simpler cocoa or boullion, an
escape danger.

A little Magazines street girl asked
her mother the other day how It was
that Adam and Eve came to leave the
Garden of Eden. and was told that the
devil entered the garden in the form Of
a serpent and tempted them, and God
banished them. The little child pom
dered over the reply for a few moments,

instead Of Adam and Eve? They were

FROM DEATH TO LIFE,

FOR SIXTY HOURS.
with Every Appearance Of Death-A
Maine Woman's Strange Experience
She Rallies and sinks Again-Again
Receivers and is StilI Improving.

PORTLAND, Jan. CIV. O. Jones who
resides in Deerlng, of Jones & IIutchings,
Portland, relates the following concern
ing the strange sickness and apparent
death of his wife, "Mrs. Jones has been
an invalid for a number of years under
the treatment of DIR. Charles w. Foster of
Woodford. Early in December she was
taken by n severe pain throughout the
system. The doctor used various means
to relieve her distress but with little
success. Her sickness continued to
increase and on Saturday afternoon
she sank away and seemed to he dying
and was so considered by the doctor. Her
complexion changed to blush drab
color and her face became covered lwith
moth, like that on a person having been
dead some time. There was an offensive
odor emanating from the body such as is
persons entering the room to use disin-
feOtants.
Mrs. Jones had given full directions
concerning her funeral she requested in
case she should become unconscious that
her body might rest long time in bed
and her lips he frequently wet, until her
friends were perfectly certain she was
dead. At3o'clock Tuesday mOrninga near
nelghbOr, was at her bedside Wettlng her
lips, she heard shocking sound as if
the patient was trying to swallow. She
placed her hand on her forehead and felt
u twltching of the nerves. About that
time Mr.. Jones arose and he also heard a
sound like that of a child cooling During
he conversation between Mr.. Jones and
Mrs. Bennett the patient gave loud
grOan, so loud as to be heard in
other parts of the house. 1t was impossi-
bic to open her mouth to administer
stlmulants, but hot applications
man was despatched for the doctor who
came quickly. He took her hand and re
quested her to close her eyes if She desired
stlmulants with apparently much effort
she partially closed them. At seven she
was able to close and open her eyes, when
asked to do so and at II she was able to
converse with her husband
The doctor did not regard this as an en-
cOuraGlng sign of recovery, but on [ e
contrary only a slight revival to conscious
ness preceding death. She continued to
improve until p. m, Tuesday, and then
gradually sank away, calling Tor air say
ing she was dying and was regarded 50
by those who stood about her bed
Treatment was resorted to as before
with good results and she has been
gradually improving ever since She Is
very much emaciatel and weak She was
in an unconscious state from Saturday at
3 p. m. until Tuesday at 3 a. IN. What she
experienced While in an unconscious state
she has made known to some of her
friends.
